Burnt Bridges

[Verse]
Burnt bridges, I stomp in the ash
Tread on the ruins, the past in the trash
Soul colder than a winter draft,
Spitting venom, got a cobra's wrath

Thoughts scatter, splatter like paint
In this dirty world, there ain't no saints
City’s heartbeat—808 shakes
Cracks in the concrete, that's what it makes

[Chorus]
Burnt bridges, smoke still rising
Dreams in the fire, ain't surprising
Burnt bridges, path so twisted
Cross me once, your name's unlisted

[Verse 2]
Life's a warzone, shells and shrapnel
Every step's a gamble, dice with a rattle
Fist clenched tight like the jaws of a pit
Bite the hand feeding, that's some foul ***

Shadows stretch long, no streetlight shines
Dark corners breed those crooked designs
Got scars deeper than the Mariana line
Can't rewind, can't redesign

[Bridge]
Ashes to ashes, I tread the dust
Bonds broken, there's no more trust
Feel the heat, every word combusts
Burnt bridges, yeah, I did what I must
